seen as far as movies on Court & Law go. It felt good not to
have the opinions of others shoved down my gullet, and to be
told over and over again throughout the movie that opinion.
If anyone chooses to write or produce about the trials of
others, they should try very hard to be objective and not
give the audience their opinion, but only the facts. The
best lawyer's have always worked that way. They do not try
to tell the world their client is guilty or innocent- they
tell the jury why their client should be found innocent, and
use the facts to do so. That is exactly what Reversal of
Fortune did. It left you an opening for your own opinion,
while giving you the facts to survive, and even offering two
outcomes of what may have happened that day. Personally, I
believe, from that movie, that von Bulow is innocent of
intentionally trying to murder Sunny, but guilty of causing
her overdose. Not because he was having an affair, but
because he allowed Sunny to continue on her self-destructive
course. And, in the long run, Sunny is just as guilty as he
is for destroying him right along with herself.
very good in the role of law professor Alan Dershowitz.
on Dershowitz, he's a fascist in real life.
characters were so intriguing.
To the guy who posted before me-Dude, the movie was great-
the question was not how do you feel about the world, but
rather the movie and it was great.
Peace!
